@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org i bet it has something to do with EWMH or ICCCM telling the window manager that this window is "something special" :)

@TheFuzzStone@fosstodon.org it really is one of my favourite dwm "features" that it doesn't implement this. i can close, resize (if floating) etc. like i want. some programs do not like that though :) the only good use of EWMH is for notifying that something has happened (which dwm supports iirc), only that this notification is usually implemented in the window manager as "activating" the respective window, which sucks massively. i don't want windows popping up magically :)
